Cambridge Greek Testament Commentary

1 Corinthians 6:14

καὶ ἡμᾶς ἐξεγερεῖ. Christ’s Resurrection is the pledge of our own. See ch. 1 Corinthians 15:23.

διὰ τῆς δυνάμεως αὐτοῦ. It is impossible to say for certain whether the word αὐτοῦ refers to the Father or to Christ; but the analogy of John 5:21; John 5:25; John 5:28; John 11:25, and especially 2 Corinthians 4:14, would lead us to the conclusion that Christ is here meant. Yet see Ephesians 1:19-20. There seems to be a distinction implied here between the raising of Christ (ἤγειρεν), who saw no corruption, and the raising us (ἐξεγερεῖ) from our state of corruption through the power of Christ.
